ROB SAND, THE DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATE FOR GOVERNOR OF IOWA, SPENT THE NIGHT IN SIOUX CITY FOLLOWING HIS DEBATE WITH REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE ZACH LAHN ON KTIV-TV WEDNESDAY EVENING.
SAND STARTED HIS MORNING BY HOSTING A “SOLVIN IOWA’S PROBLEMS” TOWN HALL AT THE BRIGHTSIDE CAFE IN THE DOWNTOWN AREA.
SAND TOLD A BREAKFAST CROWD THAT HE KNOWS IF HE BECOMES GOVERNOR, HE WOULD BE DEALING WITH A REPUBLICAN STATE LEGISLATURE:
ROBSAND1 OC…….REASONABLE AND GOOD. :25
SAND REMINDED THOSE IN THE RESTAURANT THAT IOWA HAS A HISTORY OF ELECTING BOTH DEMOCRATS AND REPUBLICANS TO HIGHER OFFICE TO SERVE THE STATE:
ROBSAND2 OC…………FOREVER, RIGHT? :13
SAND SAYS HE WOULD LIKE TO SEE SOME CHANGES IN THE TWO PARTY SYSTEM OF HOW CANDIDATES ARE ELECTED:
ROBSAND3 OC….FROM TAXPAYERS. :17
HE ALSO SAYS IF YOU WANT TO BE ON THE BALLOT, YOU SHOULD HAVE TO PASS A CIVICS TEST FIRST.
SAND ALSO CALLED FOR MANDATORY TOWN HALL MEETINGS FOR CANDIDATES TO HEAR FROM THE PUBLIC AND ANSWER NON-PRE-SCREENED QUESTIONS.
HE WILL HOLD A SIMILAR MEETING SATURDAY IN STORM LAKE.
